Sofa Table

Here is a sofa table I made for my in-laws this past winter. I was surprisingly able to build it with 2 2×4’s (excluding the top and shelves) and used only 4 screws and those were to mount the top to the frame using small rabbeted wooden blocks in slots on the frame. The ‘X’s are half-lapped and then doweled to the frame. The frame itself is all mortise and tenon. I still have my original sketchup drawings for it still, feel free to PM me if interested.

The tops are just pine panels I got from lowes on sale. My mother in law finished it with a poly urethane mix that has the stain and poly in one step and she wishes she did it the old fashioned way of staining and then doing the poly.
